Viewing and Modifying Adapter Settings

  • To configure an adapter to use more than one IP address, use these settings to add them.

  • If you have multiple adapters installed on an Access Gateway Appliance machine, you can only configure eth0 during installation. Use the procedure described in this section to configure the others.

  • If you have added an adapter to the machine after installing Access Gateway, you need to use the New NIC option before it can appear in the adapter list.
